Different results for nslookup on different OS on the same system


I just typed
nslookup in both Unix as well as WinXP prompts and following are the
results which I got
In Unix:
nslookup
Default Server: lurch.cns.syr.edu
Address: 128.230.12.5
In WinXP:
H:\>nslookup
Default Server: pitana.ad.ecs.syr.edu
Address: 128.230.208.13

I used nskookup in WinXP environment.
I also used nslookup on the same system in Unix environemnt.
But the result of the nslookup for the same system on different S were
different.
Can anyone please tell me why?
Thanx

Well, you've omitted a few pieces of important information, such as,
minimally:
- Exactly what commands did you run?
- What was the output?
- Was the machine using the same nameserver when it was running under
Windows (use ipconfig /all for info) that it was using when it was running
under UNIX (use cat /etc/resolv.conf for details)?

nslookup on Windows and from the BIND package are two different
pieces of software with the same name - they split a long time ago,
and now have somewhat different feature sets and behaviors.

However, what you're showing us here is just two different
workstation configurations - each one is using a different resolving
name server.
